About My Clients

I help my clients learn to meet themselves with compassion, build strong self-care skills, and live in alignment with who they truly are. I specialize in supporting adults through experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout. I am compassionately focused on creating a safe and inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community.

My Background and Approach

My approach as a therapist involves sitting with you, not as an expert, but as a person. I strive to create a non-judgemental space and practice with a non-pathologizing lens. I deeply enjoy working with adults who are seeking new ways to navigate their difficult experiences. Through evidence-based mental health support, I help you connect with your inner experiences in a safe and mindful way. Through my experience in group practice as both a therapist and clinical supervisor, I refined my approach and developed a deep passion for working with complex trauma, utilizing modalities like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Some other experiences I enjoy supporting my client through include burnout recovery, communicating & relationships, identity discovery, self-trust, and family of origin issues.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As humans, we are multifaceted and unique, meaning our care should address and empower all of our parts. I am committed to creating a therapy experience that is: - Authentic - Gender-Affirming - Neuro-Affirming - Trauma-Informed - Transparent
